| "He SOOOO wants to be done with high school and started in the next chapter of his life. He would have been perfectly happy to just be left there and let me come home alone."
AZKMom, boy can I empathize with that! Last April, 6 weeks before her high school graduation, my daughter sat in on classes for 2 days at UArts. At the end of the first day, she announced that she was "done" with high school and intended to spend the rest of the year just hanging out down at UArts. She asked (with a grin) whether we thought anyone at her high school would object to her just mailing her assignments in. This can be a very interesting and often funny time as we watch our kids really "turn a corner" and transition to the next phase of their lives. You can really see a change as they no longer think of themselves as high school students.
I'm glad you enjoyed Phila so much. Sounds like you had an opportunity to see a lot. If you or your son have any questions in the aftermath of your visit (particularly from a parent's perspective), please do not hesitate to ask. |
